Datang first village

A song "Magpie Bridge Immortal" made a good story in Chang'an City.

A young scholar from the Cui family in Qinghe forced the king of Qin, Li Yuanxing, to write three poems in succession with an ordinary wedding congratulatory poem before the scholars of Prince Qin's residence had time to come forward.

Two poems, one word.

In particular, this word is definitely the swan song of two feelings, the classic of love words, which should be handed down since ancient times.

The fire of gossip was blazing, but he didn't know which concubine Qin this poem was written for, so he naturally wanted to gossip.

Li Yuanxing entered Chang'an City to regroup.

What kind of ceremonial guard should be used for the wedding of the King of Qin is indeed a headache for the officials of the Ministry of Rituals. In terms of a big wedding, the King of Qin has a noble status, so he should naturally choose a guard of honor, but in fact, as Cui Shuli said, the standard of the King of Qin's wedding is already There is no one before, and there will be no one after.

Li Yuanxing's team was led by three hundred young eunuchs, carrying lamps, baskets and other items used in the guard of honor.Then there are three hundred guards of honor sergeants, flags, curtains, fans and so on.

Speaking of this fan, it is a very important item in the guard of honor of the Tang Dynasty.

(The author has consulted a lot of information. If we just show this guard of honor here, it will inevitably be watered down. It is impossible to describe the whole set of guard of honor without a few thousand words. In short, the guard of honor has thousands of people.)

After that, there were three hundred armored sergeants, and Li Yuanxing was among them riding a horse.

At the end of the line are the hostess and guests of the big wedding, and the rest of the guards.

Before Li Yuanxing's team reached Suzaku Gate, the poem had already reached the ears of Seven Girls.

Most of the Seven Girls originally thought that His Royal Highness King Qin was a monk, or at worst a general.But who would have thought that he is such a person who understands sentiments, and Qi Nu is naturally full of expectations in her heart.

When we arrived at Suzaku Gate, there were still some people watching the ceremony here, not only nobles from Chang'an, but also civil and military men from the Manchu Dynasty.Even the envoys from various countries stationed in Chang'an also watched the ceremony at the Suzaku Gate.

They only know a little bit about these poems. Although they yearn for it, they don't have more than ten years of cultural accumulation. These poems are not comprehensible to those who don't have a systematic cultural system.

However, the three hundred iron armored soldiers in King Qin's guard of honor made them jealous.

There was a martial arts performance in Qin Wangzhuang, and that time it showed a full-body plate armor made of pure steel, with amazing defensive power.All the envoys were thinking at the time, this piece is several tens of kilograms of fine steel, no matter how rich the Tang Dynasty is, it is impossible to produce a large amount of fine steel armor.

But at this time, the rising sun shines on the earth.

The golden light shone on Li Yuanxing's three hundred armored guards, and the full body armor of those guards shone with dazzling golden light.

This is one of the two armors improved by Qin Wangzhuang again. It combines the style of the original Mingguang armor, and then uses the weaving method of the scale armor. It is covered with soft leather armor. The front and rear chests are complete two or three breastplates. Coupled with shoulder pads and a long waist skirt, a complete set of full-body armor is formed.

But with such armor, sergeants with poor physical fitness really can't use it.

The full set weighed [-] catties in the Tang Dynasty, but it would weigh [-] catties in modern times. Walking for dozens of miles wearing this suit of armor would be impossible for a sergeant with poor physical fitness.

It is Li Yuanxing's elite guards in the Qin Palace, who can wear a full set of armor and a full set of weapons and equipment.With the necessary dry food and other things, one day is only a walk of fifty miles, otherwise it is impossible to maintain combat effectiveness.

The three hundred sets of shining golden armor not only shocked the foreign envoys, but also Li Yuan who was watching the ceremony on the city wall was greatly shocked.Li Yuan said to his entourage: "Today is the grand wedding of my emperor's son. This grand ceremony should be attended by me. This is the custom among the people!"

"What the Supreme Emperor said is very true. Naturally, the folks want father and brother to be present to congratulate."

The attendant said another brother, and Li Yuan nodded.

"This is to arrange."

The entourage left the city and went straight to the imperial city.Originally, Li Er's plan was to go to Qinwangzhuang tomorrow, congratulate him, and then return to Chang'an City.But hearing such a report from the attendant, Li Er was tempted.

Immediately, the imperial decree was issued. As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he and the Supreme Emperor would naturally officiate the marriage for the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Er's other younger brothers, Li Er didn't mention it at all. These people can't get on the stage at all, they can't do big things, and they don't do small things.The contribution to Datang Jiangshan is very limited, so this time, Li Er didn't ask these younger brothers to go.

Li Er is not greedy for those armors.

But Li Er was thinking, how long since Li Yuanxing showed the plate armor last time, there are three hundred sets of Mingguang armor made entirely of fine steel.The last time Li Yuanxing made a report, Li Er always thought that it was a full-body leather armor, and then inlaid fine steel in key positions.

Three hundred sets, but more than 300 catties of fine steel.

But now, these three hundred sets cost at least four thousand to five thousand catties of refined steel.In just one month, Li Yuanxing's little Zhuangzi had refined so much refined steel.Li Er decided to go and see for himself. By the way, he wanted to ask Li Yuanxing how much it cost and whether it was possible to equip the Tang army.

Of course, the most critical issue is that Li Er thinks that he should take this opportunity to open the eyes of those barbarians on the grassland.

The Vermilion Bird Gate is the second gate, where Wei Ting and the others have already prepared it, and read out poems that have been prepared a long time ago.

But after a while, someone at the city gate spoke.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, my master said that this poem is too boring. Don't ask your highness to write a poem, your highness will tell a story!"

Li Yuanxing was far away, but even if he was close, he couldn't tell whose personal maid the girl who was speaking was.Li Yuanxing reached out to touch his waist, and when he touched it, he found that his waist was empty.

I thought it was a war, and I was wearing binoculars.

Li Yuanxing is not afraid of storytelling. He comes from the later modern times, and even if it is a modern compilation, he can make up a few classics.

But Li Yuanxing just wanted to see who was doing the trouble.

Li Yuanxing couldn't see clearly, but the others in Chengguan knew that this was Cui Yingying's maid.

"It's fine to tell a story, but my king's story is just a bit long. Besides, what I'm going to say here, don't tell me it's not good to pass it on. Why don't I write it down when I get back to Qinwangzhuang."

The maid went down to the city.

Of course, all the seven girls inside the city gate knew about it. Cui Yanyan smiled coldly, and said to Yingying that your little trick is just to make His Royal Highness King Qin pay attention to you.Or let the people know that you, Cui Yingying, have shown your face?

"It's okay to go back and write, at least two stories!" The maid ran to the top of the city again.

"Seven, each with a story!" Li Yuanxing replied confidently.

The maid stuck out her tongue and fled down the city wall. Her mission was completed, so she had to run away naturally.

According to the local customs of Datang and Chang'an, the wedding ceremony had to enter the woman's home, and there were some rituals.But right now it's not suitable to put a family there, so they are all exempted.

The Suzaku door was wide open, and the inner door was already decorated with lights and festoons.

Seven noble ladies hold seven jade bowls, this is the etiquette of the Seventh Family to welcome the son-in-law, some are exempted, but some that can be enforced are placed in the Suzaku Gate.Inside the Suzaku Gate, there are two rows of flower sheds and two rows of tents, where hundreds of ladies are sending off their marriages.

Seven bowls, seven poached eggs, seven whole poached eggs.

Li Yuanxing took the first bowl, bit it open and found that there was something else in the egg, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a lotus seed. Li Yuanxing was surprised, how could a lotus seed be wrapped in this complete poached egg.

When eating the second bowl, Li Yuanxing took a closer look at it.

This poached egg is really complete, after carefully biting open, there are some sesame seeds inside!

Amazing!How could this be boiled into a complete poached egg? Li Yuanxing has carefully observed each bowl. The poached eggs are all complete. There are seven bowls containing seven things.

It also seems to have a meaning.Peace and peace, give birth to a precious son early.

This is probably the case, Li Yuanxing is also guessing.Because I can't tell what I ate, I just keep it in my heart silently

According to the etiquette, Li Yuanxing circled each sedan chair three times, and then the seven girls were carried out from the seven temporary flower sheds by Xi Niang and placed in the sedan chairs.Surrounded by hundreds of ladies, Li Yuanxing didn't hear a word from the officials in charge of etiquette shouting.According to various requirements, Li Yuanxing was constantly being manipulated and walked back and forth.

When Li Yuanxing was already dizzy, he only knew that someone urged him to get on his horse, and then he went out of the city and returned to Qinwangzhuang.

"This is the end!" Li Yuanxing was very confused, and asked the guard beside him, who shook his head.

Li Yuanxing was really confused, the personal guard hadn't married yet, besides, the marriage of ordinary people was different from that of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, two teams of knights rode quickly to Suzaku's gate, each of them took out a bamboo tube from behind.When the team was about to go back, the two rows of bamboo tubes made loud noises, and the sky filled with petals fluttered in the air. When the wind blew, within a hundred steps of both sides of the Suzaku Gate, the city was full of fragrance.

According to the etiquette of setting off cannons in later generations, Wu Zhao put the petals in the bamboo tube first, and then added some perfume.

The primer is the gunpowder, and when it explodes, the petals and perfume are sprayed out.

Zheng Xiuyan in the sedan chair was about to stick her head out to see the beautiful scenery, but a lady beside the sedan chair reacted quickly and immediately pushed her little head back into the flower bridge.

A scented petal fell into the sedan chair, and Zheng Xiuyan reached out to catch it, overjoyed.

Li Yuanxing felt a little heartbroken after picking up the bride and returning to Chang'an Qinwangzhuang. Those people in the guard of honor walked eighty miles in one day. This is not a joke.Especially the sergeant in steel armor, I really don't know if he can stand it.

On the way, Li Yuanxing found several excuses for the team to rest.Cui Dunli knew that Li Yuanxing was benevolent, so he didn't tell the truth.

By the time they returned to Qinwangzhuang, the sky had already darkened. (To be continued.)
